Request from USCIS?!?

[6th Angel 0]

We got a letter from them saying the following:

In order to process your application further, the petitioner/sponsor on Form I-864, Affidavit of Support must submit all Federal income tax documentation submitted to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for the most recent tax year. *then writen with a red pen* 2008 FORM 1040

Since my husband never got a tax return because he aparently owed taxes so they (IRS) took the tax return, we never went back for his papers, I didn't know exactly what papers are what so I had submited the notice IRS sent back about taking his tax return to pay for owed taxes.

Yesterday after recieving this letter we called the tax place and the said they had the papers there, we went to get them and now we know what the 1040 form is....

Please tell me if this is right:

I am sending the pink notice they sent as instructed and a copy of the Form 1040. Will this be enough? Or do I have to send the W 2s also?

It says on the intructions of the I-864 that we don't have to send the W 2s if submitting the transcript.... What is the transcript?

I was thinking that if it was writen in RED ink that they want the 2008 FORM 1040, then that's all I have to submit. Right? The thing is that we can't find any other documents....

HELP please!

Thanks

Have him get tax transcripts. Call 800 829 1040. He can get the in one day if he has a fax or goes where someone has one. Free.

If he doesn't. Send in the 1040 and the W2s

Just to add to Haole's advice, send any other schedules, 1099's, etc. that also pertain (if applicable) to the 2008 tax return if you are sending the 1040.

No need for any of the supporting documents if using the transcripts.
